A single word for someone who is not pleased no matter how hard you try

I'm looking for a word that means

someone (especially a boss) who is not pleased (with your work, attitude etc.) no matter how hard you try.

Dear boss,

You are the most implacable boss I have ever worked with. You are pitiless and immovable no matter how hard I try.

For these reasons, I'm out.

Yours sincerely...

"Unpleasable" seems to be what you're looking for. Examples: TvTropes for Unpleasable Fanbase. Etymology at dictionary.com.

While not rude per se, the implication of the word is that there's no way around it. This person is not "hard to please". It's plain impossible to please this person. I'd say it's not rude but harsh to tell a boss he's unpleasable.

Oh ho! I have an idea. Most of the words suggested so far definitely sound negative, which is to be expected, because it is a negative thing to be difficult to please.

How about particular?

"She is very particular in her preferences."

To say that a person is particular means that he has exacting expectations. A person may take that as a compliment if they agree and do not feel they are being mocked. I would happily admit that in my writing I am very particular about my choice of words. If somebody said that I was very particular about the meals I was served, it wouldn't seem quite so complimentary. The word is a little more elastic in its connotation.

Hypercritical is the quality of always finding fault and never being pleased.

Placare in Italian means to calm someone down, to make amends, to soothe. Look up the English definition, and there's no mention of a person who is never satisfied or pleased. So although the term, implacable, is indeed classy and sounds refined, technically, it's incorrect.

An implacable person just can’t be appeased. If you really offended your best friend and tried every kind of apology but she refused to speak to you again, you could describe her as implacable.

To please, in Italian, is contentare, in my view, a more appropriate word would be: discontent (OED 1. The state or condition of being discontented; want of content; dissatisfaction of mind: the opposite of content or contentment) or malcontent, a chronically dissatisfied person
